Love and not-so-much.

 Hello Friends and Happy March!

I have been enjoying the past few days filled with sunshine and warmth.  Oh my, after last week, it has been so good for me to have this weather.  Does it seem like February lasted for six months and ninty-nine days?  It's usually the January's that do me in but not this year.  

I was scrolling through the pictures on my phone and decided to do a little thing I call, "Love it & Not-so-Much".  

Love It!

Starbuck's Midnight Drink with Oat Milk.  It is made with blackberries, sage, and coconut milk but I opted for oat milk for some reason.  I don't really like oat milk ever but I wanted something other than my normal soy.  I should have stuck with the coconut milk.  While it isn't my favorite Starbuck's drink, it was really good.

My sweet dogs - all four of them!  These two stay in the house because they had issues when they came here and never moved outside.  They love each other so very much.  Duke protects Mavi as if they were actually litter mates but they came from different places and are four years apart in age.  She is the "pain in the tushy" one but he tolerates her so well.  Anyhow, I just don't think she gets that he didn't want to play with the ball of strings.  

This monkey!  I took this back when he had his birthday weekend.  He loves the indoor playgrounds/climbing walls.   He had to show out for his favorite person - ME!  Well, I don't know if I'm his favorite person or not but he sure makes me feel like I am!

And the sister and cousin loving on him...well, I hope it was loving and not trying to strangle him.  With these two, one never knows!  He is blessed to have cousins who love him so much and a sister who will fight a bear for him.  She loves, loves, loves, her little brother and he loves her right back!

Simple Lunches!  I am working on being conscious of how and what I eat.  I have become infatuated with the way French women enjoy their food and really...their life.  I hardly ever eat breakfast or lunch but recently I read an article(I don't remember where I read it) but it was about how the French linger over their meals and truly taste the food.  We are always in such a hurry to scarf down as much as we can in the shortest amount of time, it seems, here in America.  I decided, I didn't like doing that.  I never eat a lot but I want to savor the food, I do eat,  and enjoy the moments...now if I could get my ex-military husband to slow down, it would be awesome!  LoL

And apparently I have a creepy peeping-Tom stalker!  Yes, I love him too...some days though!  LoL

The "NOT-SO-MUCH" category -

Confetti Canons!  Yes, they are a blast and my grandson loved it when we had his birthday party, earlier in the month BUT... There were pieces of tissue paper everywhere and I do mean everywhere!  I am still finding it, here and there.  Actually, this could go in both categories.  I love confetti canons but also..."not-so-much" when it comes time to clean it up.  Will I use them again?  You bet your boots I will!

This is most definitely a "Not-So-Much" thing...no make that a flat out "Despise" thing.  This was at the very beginning of the snow and ice that came through last week.  Y'all do remember that I am a Southern Belle and not a dang snow bunny,  right?  UgH!

A definite "not-so-much"!  I am not going to pay this much for eggs.  At Walmart no less!  Our one little chicken with her one little egg, everyday, will do just fine for now.  Ridiculous!  However, I had to stop a Sam's and found 18ct cartons of brown eggs for $6.22.  REALLY!?  Talk about something being wrong in the Hen House!

I had such high hopes for this face cream.  I should have known better but I gave it a try.  Immediately, my skin started burning!  I know it is the hyaluronic acid but it also was very sticky and then dried like a dried up piece of meat.  It was uncomfortable.  I couldn't wait to get this junk off my face.  I don't think this is a good product for younger women much less us older women.  Love it?  Yeah...not so much!

And lastly...I am definitely loving the sunsets we are getting right now!  I know it will get cloudy and cold again so I am enjoying it while I can!
